These story writing prompts were conceived on the fly without any research or Google search for inspiration. Note: Because we’re all connected to the same pop culture, news headlines, and inspirations, any similarity to any past, present, or future screenplays, novels, short stories, television pilots, television series, plays, or any other creative works is purely coincidence.
They may inspire screenplays, novels, short stories, or even smaller moments that you can include in what stories you are already writing. In the spirit of helping writers find those seeds, here we offer 101 originally conceived sci-fi story prompts that you can use as inspiration for your next science fiction story. They can come from a single visual that entices the creative mind - a seed that continues to grow and grow until the writer is forced to finally put it to paper or screen. They can come from a scene or moment in a film that wasn’t fully explored. We get our ideas from many sources - news headlines, novels, television shows, movies, our lives, our fears, our phobias, etc. Read ScreenCraft's 7 Writing Workouts to Build Your Creative Muscles! Do you want to write in the sci-fi genre but need help conjuring compelling stories and concepts? Sometimes reading simple genre prompts is the easiest way to get those creative juices flowing.
